I'd kill that mofo.

Is that the same marsh the Bugatti hit a couple of years ago?

Are you kidding???? Looks like he could step across to the hiway.

Poor baby didn't want to get his feet wet.

My old man always told me that there's two things you never lend people......your car and your wife! :seasix:

$20,000???? Must have been filled with the owner's gun collection.

I went up to the Poconos to help my friend with maintenance on his cabin. Busted my ass for the entire 3 day weekend.

As I pull up to the stop sign looking at the farm, I see my youngest brother sitting on the barn bridge. I pull in the driveway and he informs me he took out my '72 Monte Carlo and totaled it.

Me being dead tired is the only thing that saved his ass :slap:

That was 1985 and was the last time he used any of my vehicles.

Bugatti was down near Texas City, IIRC.

Article says this was in MA.

Maybe he moved up north. :funny:

I didn't read the article. :leaving:

Even better
don't lend your car to your wife :D

I've really been thinking about this. I'd like to sell the car, but think that Craigslist is just going to be a shitstorm of bullshit with kids and test drives etc. Any thoughts on how to sell it without all the drama?

[onedef92]

That is pretty jacked up.

Wait for big rain storm. Make sure car is heavily insured. Go to knowing flooding area. Hope the car makes it out.

Just sayin'. :leaving:

Clarified.

While I was away at college, my brother found a Suzuki key blank I had in my bedroom at my parent's house, went out to the garage where my motorcycle was being stored, took a hammer and drove the key blank into the ignition switch, and the bike started up.

He took it out and picked up some idiot friend of his. They were speeding around Main street and the cops went after them. My brother ran from the cops, dropped his buddy off, and started running through people's back yards with the headlight turned off. It may have worked had he not hit a gas meter, causing a massive gas leak and the neighbors to call the cops. The bike was screwed up enough that he couldn't use it for escape so he ran on foot. The cops eventually caught him and impounded my bike.

So yeah, that was the last time he ever did that. I fixed my bike up over the next summer, put it up for sale, and a potential buyer stole it. :wtf:

I spent two weeks in London back in 1994. Before I left, I had just purchased a new car.

I gave the house key to my sister to feed my cat while we were gone.

My other younger sister, took the house key and "borrowed" my new car.

She put almost 1500 miles on it.

If only for the single reason that they could sling a rod in either...

[Fastguy]

:confused5:

All they do is look at NADA or KBB for 1971 Corvette and pull the biggest newsworthy number.
